Appreciation
“Jenny is a superb and sophisticated editor. She has an in-depth understanding of language as well as an appreciation of complex political issues, such as peacemaking. I always trusted that Jenny captured the essence of my words, and that the language was fundamentally mine. I have no hesitation in recommending Jenny to any endeavor to which she commits herself.”
—Ambassador Uri Savir, formerly Israel’s Chief Negotiator during the Oslo Accords, author of Peace First: A New Model to End War and New York Times Notable Book The Process.
“Jenny Williams is an amazing person and a brilliant writer and editor. Her editorial insights into Confessions of an Economic Hit Man were extremely valuable in shaping the book during the publishing process. The essays she sent from Africa form an essential part of The Secret History of the American Empire. She has a keen eye for both the details and the big picture. Our writing and editing collaboration continues to this day—I’d work with her again in a heartbeat.”
--John Perkins, author of the New York Times–bestselling book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man
